Trump's Inauguration Might Be Filled With Cringe Dance Moves Thanks To One Performer

President-elect Donald Trump possesses several identifiable features and traits, from his bright orange spray tan to his large, yet easily-bruised, ego. And, after the news came out that a certain performer will be gracing the stage prior to his inauguration on January 20, 2025, Trump very well could showcase another aspect of his personality his followers and detractors alike may not be as familiar with.

On January 13, 2025, the Village People frontman Victor Willis shared that the disco group will be present at some of Trump's Inauguration Day events. (As of writing, Willis is the only original member of the Village People in the musical group.) The group, which is known for popular dance hits like "Y.M.C.A.," aims to bring people together with these specific performances. "We know this [won't] make some of you happy to hear however we believe that music is to be performed without regard to politics," Willis wrote on Facebook. "Our song Y.M.C.A. is a global anthem that hopefully helps bring the country together after a tumultuous and divided campaign where our preferred candidate lost. Therefore, we believe it's now time to bring the country together with music which is why VILLAGE PEOPLE will be performing at various events as part of the 2025 Inauguration of Donald J. Trump." 

While there's no telling who in the nation will want to get up and dance during the inauguration festivities, there's no doubt the president-elect himself will be one willing to oblige by putting on his boogie shoes and getting down on Inauguration Day.

President-elect Donald Trump has shown before that he's unafraid of putting his cringey dance moves on display. During Thanksgiving 2024, he stiffly swayed at the dinner table during an impromptu sing-a-long of "Y.M.C.A." that possibly left his son, Barron Trump, wishing he'd stayed at NYU for the holiday. In a video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on April 1, 2024, he also was seen awkwardly shaking his arms to Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" when he made his grand entrance for Easter dinner.

Bearing in mind that "Y.M.C.A." is also one of several songs Donald used to hype up rally attendees along the campaign trail, it wouldn't be shocking if seeing the song performed live by the Village People would be a rousing moment for the president-elect. Knowing that the "Before He Cheats" artist Carrie Underwood is also slated to sing "America the Beautiful" in Washington D.C. on Inauguration Day, Donald is certainly in for a day of good music and rousing performances. Thus, onlookers shouldn't be surprised if he decides to show off his moves here or there between the pomp and circumstance.
